About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from History of Washington: The Rise and Progress of an American State

It is to be regretted that the State government has not already made such provision as most other States have made for collecting, arranging and preserving the materials for its history. The Work can be done thoroughly and well at very moderate cost, once it is begun in a proper way. The greatest need will be for a competent secretary, whose heart will be in the work, who has already displayed some genius for it, and who has a wide acquaintance among the earlier settlers now living.
